Barkly says: Ban Fracking

1000 strong against fracking in Barkly

Fracking in the NT threatens huge parts of the Northern Territory. Our water, land, culture and climate are all at risk from dangerous plans to drill for shale gas through our groundwater table.

The Barkly electorate covers the towns of Tennant Creek, Borroloola, Ali Curung, Warrego, Tara Aboriginal Community and Alpururulam. The current representative, Gerry McCarthy won by about 1300 votes.

If we can get over 1000 people to sign a petition to ban fracking in the NT, Gerry McCarthy will have to listen.

Gerry McCarthy is part of the Labor Party, and they’re currently deciding whether or not to put in place an all out ban on fracking in the Top End. We need to get as much support in the Labor party for protecting country as possible, so sign the petition today!

Wherever we are in this country we respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land and their elders past, present and future. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have lived sustainably and in harmony with the land for tens of thousands of years and together we are striving for the future of the land, air and waters that make up this beautiful country.
